[New Discovery in Small Alleys | A Breathing Bookstore Hidden in Xinglong Lane

In the crevice where blue bricks and warm light intertwine at the street corner I found the softest edge of this city —Mo's Bookstore The moment I push open the glass door The scent of wood mixed with the aroma of paper pages embraces me The first floor is a symbiotic universe of cultural creations and books Planner tapes flow with starlight in glass cabinets Canvas bags hang with unfinished poems The bottom of ceramic cups conceals the ripples of Qinghai Lake At the turn of the spiral staircase, time automatically slows to 0.5x speed The second floor corridor unfolds like a bamboo scroll Educational materials on the left, life's ideals on the right The reading area in the deepest part seems enchanted Sunlight cuts through the window frames into fuzzy golden blocks Shadows of people holding books bloom like flowers on the wall Here, you forget the flow of time When the wind flips through book pages You can hear the sound of melting snow from the mountains Someone left coffee stains on page 37 of "The Miracles of the Namiya General Store" Someone pressed dried Galsang flowers between the pages of "The Little Prince" How many half-day lives are hidden deep within these bookshelves? 📍: Xinglong Lane, Central District, Xining City
